First dance song- High school sweethearts

Emily, on August 8, 2019 at 10:30 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 3 32
My fiancé and I are high school sweethearts and are hoping to find a meaningful first dance song that really represents our journey. We are fans of country and folk but are open to any other ideas! Ideally a more modern song ☺️ Any ideas!?

    Have you heard remember you young by Thomas Rhett ? My brother and SIL are high school sweethearts and it always reminds me of them. It’s so sweet

    Hey Emily!

    Congratulations on your engagement!

    Since you love country music and are high school sweethearts, the first song that I thought of is ‘Then’ by Brad Paisley.

    Some other suggestions I have are ‘When You Got a Good Thing’ by Lady Antebellum and ‘Shameless’ by Garth Brooks.

    Are there any songs that you are already considering?

    Greatest Love Story by Lanco? I know it's not exactly but it does talk about a long love story!

    THIS omg, I almost cry every time I hear this song 😭 I met my husband when I was 19 and if I hadn’t heard it for the first time a month AFTER our wedding (ugh lol) we probably would’ve used it for our first dance

    My fiance and I first dated in 1985. We found each other again and wanted a meaningful song. We considered a mashup of a love song from that year and one from now, but then we listened to the words in the Ed Sheeran song "Perfect" and it was perfect. We chose it. The line that got us was "we were just kids when we fell in love not knowing what it was" and we knew that was the one. Maybe give it a listenSmiley heart
